I was a user on Telegram from India.
Telegram is not sending text messages because I don’t have a premium account. And many features are locked in premium.
Currently, Telegram doesn’t allow users to create or log in to accounts via third-party apps. Also, I need an official telegram (a must from the Play Store). (Not even the apk from their own website.) To receive a login code.
Do you guys ever feel that telegram has become so much worse?
I agree without, Telegram secret chats are annoying and due to some bug I can’t even select text and/or accept spell checking corrections on my iPhone. Signal however… that’s just e piece of shit messenger that never syncs anything properly between devices without delays, errors etc. and for what’s worth their desktop applications aren’t native and I fucking hate electron shit.
Why can’t we just get over the chat app mess we’re in and bring back XMPP with encryption? I don’t get most of the people here, all for federation and shit but when it comes to messages they suddenly forget that XMPP is the original and truly open messaging solution. You can message anyone by email no matter what’s or where’s their server. Pretty much like lemmy, true interoperability.
For what it’s worth I never have syncing issues with signal. It might be due to the iPhone deprioritizing it in the background, you might want to check your phone settings
